The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Major General Taoreed Lagbaja has troops of the Armed Forces and their sacrifice, commitment, doggedness and determination towards dislodging existential threats to the unity, security, stability and peace of the country.
He made this claim in his Eid-el-Kabir message on Wednesday.
Lagbaja in a statement by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachuku, lauded the troops deployed for ongoing operations within and outside the shores of the country for their sacrifice.
“In the course of my career, I witnessed in different capacities, your efforts and sacrifices,” the Army Chief was quoted as saying.
“I have no doubt about the zeal and commitment of our troops in ensuring the success of the NA in combating the complex, multifaceted, and unpredictable security threats bedevilling our country, alongside our sister services, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies.”
He urged the troops to remain resolute, undaunted, disciplined and patriotic in combating the adversaries of the country.
According to Lagbaja, Sallah represents the virtues of sacrifice and submission to the will of the Almighty God, as emulated by Prophet Muhammed.
The season, he stated, “brings to remembrance the supreme sacrifice officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army make on a daily basis to ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation is preserved at all times.”
